consultation/research fatigue
Linking models to community engagement
Water productivity:
Most of the databases are crude and small scale to rely on for modeling (e.g. soil map of Ethiopia is about 1:00,000 scale) our hydrological database are scant
The modeling will suffer of reliability. Clear biophysical and social contexts need to be made both to model processes and outscaling results
Communities can be sources of data. How do you put it?
In terms of process it is a big task to be presented with the innovative platforms and headline question and to immediately ask have we got it right? sometime for digest and reflection be there
RMS scenarios group
So many hydrological national partners
What is the scale of community conversations/action research
How to link modeling to innovation platforms and action research
Focus and prioritization in science
The NBDC is very ambitious. What will really be done in practical terms?
Now we have some RMS for each site - but how do we progress this. How do we get farmers/communities more involved?
Need to introduce gender perspective to Kees Swanns innovation platform document
Recurring point: Involve the communities - Who? How?
Be pragmatic
A high volume of work which was very rich and diverse has been presented throughout the workshop. Is there a process to prioritize and bring them together?
